Horoscopes
Aries
The day can begin rather scattered and end far more focused, dear Aries. There may be so many things you’d like to do (or that you have to do), that you don’t know where to start. Your attention is divided. It will be important to choose your battles wisely today, as something that someone says or writes can get on your nerves and instinct can tell you to react quickly. However, before doing so blindly, consider all angles. On the other hand, write down some of the ideas you come up with now. While they may not be received well at the moment, this doesn’t mean they’re not worthwhile. Changes need to be made, but how you approach making them can make all the difference. There can be animation and energy surrounding you this evening, and this can be invigorating. You are likely to feel both supportive and supported.
Taurus
Keep an open mind today, dear Taurus, and an open schedule if possible. Clinging very closely to tradition could lead to frustration, and haste can be a trap as well. Detours from the norm or the routine may be offputting at first, but can also stimulate new thinking. There can be a tendency to be thinking about serious or business matters today, even when it’s time to celebrate or relax. Try to push these things to the back of your mind or, better yet, resolve to be present in the moment and return to them later. Compartmentalizing may very well be the key to success right now. Your personal appeal is strong today, and you can reach a new understanding in or about a relationship.
Gemini
It can be costly today to skip over instructions or jump to conclusions, as is the general inclination right now, Gemini. Someone’s impersonal behavior might frustrate you a little. If you can avoid the tendency to move too fast and to live on your nerves (or only in your brain), you can come to very interesting, and possibly prophetic, insights. The day can be fulfilling if you avoid relying too much on schedules and plans. You are a flexible person by nature, most of the time, and this is a good time to draw upon this wonderful trait. Tonight, nice energy is with you for uncovering a mystery and powers of persuasion.
Cancer
Expect the unexpected today, dear Cancer. There can be some cantankerous energies surrounding a partnership or parent, and you may be a little more withdrawn than usual, but a sense of moving forward is with you. Something someone says today, likely a partner or parent/boss, can be unnerving, and it can be difficult to truly “hear” your own thoughts or feelings on the matter. Avoid quick reactions. Think things over before coming to any sort of conclusion, and avoid taking words spoken to heart, as they were likely poorly conceived. The desire to make sense of everything is with you, but you probably have better things to concern yourself with. Staying active is important today with Mars and the North Node connecting.
Leo
Creative energy is powerful today, dear Leo, but possibly difficult to tap. You may stumble upon a new way to approach an old health, work, or energy problem. Avoid rebellious behavior now. The day requires patience, particularly regarding opinions, directions, and instructions, as it can get chaotic. Try not to lose your center when responding to others. Off the cuff remarks, while a strong tendency, can be a waste of time, or worse, destructive. However, something you hear might stimulate a new way of thinking, so don’t totally disregard what’s communicated now. Simply take some time before reacting. You are coming across warmly for the most today and tomorrow, with your ruler, the Sun, parallel Venus. You can also find that a partner or friend is very supportive, and some of you could meet someone special now.
Virgo
Listening to your instincts typically pays off, dear Virgo, but sometimes you don’t know whether it’s a gut feeling or a reaction of the ego, and today, the latter is more likely with your ruler in hard aspect to excitable Uranus. While the “noise” around you can be too chaotic to truly discern how you feel, do listen to what you’re hearing, as what might seem at first to be far-fetched could turn into a golden idea, after some refinement. This is because Uranus, in its higher form, is an awakener. You might open your eyes to something very important today, particularly about a love relationship. Alternatively, you can find creative inspiration. Expect the unexpected and avoid hanging too tightly to traditions.
Libra
You are more heavily invested in your ability to maintain harmony today, dear Libra. Even so, communications can become competitive and the pace can be a little hectic with Uranus strong and difficult. It may be difficult to unwind at times as a result. Channeling excess energy into a project, especially around the home, with kids, or something creative and artistic, can be very helpful. While Uranus squaring Mercury today can be rebellious, it also helps awaken us to new ways to think and possibly to update our traditions. The trick is to work with it instead of being at its mercy. Freshen your mind with alternative ways to relate to one another. Avoid pushing a matter, and stand up for yourself if others are railroading you, but do so without defensiveness. Personal attractiveness is strong today, and you’ll probably find that others are especially willing to lend you a hand.
Scorpio
Today, you might latch on to a new idea that seems interesting at first, dear Scorpio, but don’t jump into it just yet. Do more research when you’re a little more patient and practical-minded. This is not a day for following through with well-constructed plans – they’re likely to be interrupted. Do watch that you take more care with directions and instructions today, however, as you may very well be skipping important details or steps in your haste. A minor work or scheduling crisis can occur now, but you are in a good position to resolve it quickly. If you can manage it, try to go about your routine independently or arrange things so that you can move at your own pace. Be especially attentive and aware and avoid pushing too hard. All things considered, however, this can be a pleasing day, particularly as you can feel that you’re heading in the right direction.
Sagittarius
Impatience in the atmosphere around you is quite possible today, and there can be a scattered, hectic, and at times agitated energy, particularly in our communications, dear Sagittarius. However, this can be managed if you resolve to avoid getting caught up in it. Extra care should be taken with personal possessions, as you might lose something, and impulsive or poorly considered purchases are a possibility. Even though life can be on the chaotic side right now, interrupted plans may very well lead to important new discoveries. But do avoid or put off important discussions, especially those dear to your heart, as it’s unlikely that you’ll receive the responses you hope for. Wait for a time when defensiveness isn’t interfering with healthy interactions.
Capricorn
The day can be quite successful if we resolve to listen to our hearts rather than live mostly in our heads, dear Capricorn. Conversations could trigger deeper issues, and it will be important to tread lightly as a result. Provocative comments are unlikely to go over well at the moment. However, challenges today seem to light a fire under you to make improvements. Resolving to stay flexible helps you to see opportunities that interruptions in your plans or in your schedule can lead towards. New ideas can surface, and you may be feeling quite excited about developing plans and projects.
Aquarius
Watch that you are not your own worst enemy today by saying or doing things that invite negative reactions, Aquarius. Ideas conceived now may be ahead of their time or impractical, and it can be hard to distinguish between the two! Conversations can be interesting and at times inspiring, but might also touch a nerve. However, the day can be quite friendly if we avoid guarding our beliefs so tightly that we can’t feel the warmth of the energy of the day. Team efforts can be especially successful now. Staying active also helps channel energy productively.
Pisces
While the day can be pleasant in many ways, there can be some abruptness to deal with, dear Pisces. Before you take anything said to heart, consider that the tendency now is to speak before thinking. Or, perhaps it’s better to say that people tend to be speaking before feeling. You may also be inclined to unwillingly misrepresent yourself. Nevertheless, something good can come out of an off the cuff remark. While unsettling at first, it might take your mind on a detour to a whole new perspective on a problem.

You are a practical and efficient, hands-on person. You can be relied on to take a common-sense approach to most matters. Your down-to-earth manner stands you in good stead for the daily chores of life. Your weakness lies in your sometimes stubborn refusal to make changes in your life. You tend to stifle both your own and other people’s enthusiasm.
WATER WEAK
You are out of kilter with your emotions. Crying or losing your cool in front of other people would be a horrifying thought, let alone action, for you. You often lack compassion for others in your human relationships, and need to learn to honor both your own and other people’s feelings.
BALANCE OF MODES
Scores: Cardinal 9; Fixed 6; Mutable 2
CARDINAL STRONG
You enjoy challenge and action, and become frustrated when you have no recourse for change. You expect others to also rise to a challenge.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 24th:
Note that when an aspect is Applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is Separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
